When using the PropertyRadar API, some calls can result in charges, while others are completely free with your plan. All paid endpoints include a Purchase parameter, which is required to be set to either 0 or 1.
Purchase=0 results in a preview of results, which will not include the actual result records. Instead, it will display how many results would be returned, as well as your plans remaining quotas. It will not count as an export as no records are actually returned.
Purchase=1 results in the full records being returned, with each record counting as 1 export.
Any overages will cost the same as any other export would.
Whether you request 1 field of data for that record, or 50, it will still count as an export. Every record counts as an export, even if you have previously exported that same record previously.
An exception is when Purchase=1 is set for your query, but the only field requested to be returned is the RadarID for a property. In that case, it will not count as an export. If any other fields are also requested with it then it will count as an export.
Again, It's important to test first because all purchases are non-refundable, each record will be deducted from your monthly included items.
As such, test with the API parameter of Purchase=0 as that will tell you how many records will be returned with no deduction. When you are ready to purchase the records, set Purchase=1, and be sure you request the return fields you want.
Phone and Email Unlocks
Phone and Email unlocks count against your monthly Unlock quotas, and are separate from your export quota. Once a contact's information has been unlocked, it will always remain unlocked.
